Indian Way School: ensuring student’s safety

Administrators at Indian Way School say they will go to the Peacekeepers with video of violators who run the stop sign in front of their school and even ignore the red flashing lights on the school bus as children are being dropped off and picked up. Alma Diabo is the Administrator at Indian Way. She says they installed cameras in late June to discourage people from dumping their garbage in the school parking lot:

“Cars have a tendency to not stop at the stop signs, they speed through. We have 2 cross walks that are not respected by the community and non-locals. It’s extremely dangerous for our students. There are times when our buses, dropping students off and cars are passing the buses, I guess it’s the same situation that they are dealing with on the 207.”

Diabo says they are doing what they can to ensure student safety:

“We’re trying everything in our power to protect our students and ensure their safety. If it takes contacting the Police and giving them license plate numbers, that’s what will need to happen. From time to time the PK’s come to the school and request video footage from us and we are always open to helping them out. Even as far as vehicles that were stolen in the neighbourhood, we provided video and I think the culprits were caught.”
